Chapter 187: Feast Four
"She's the number one chef of the famous Four Seasons Restaurant in Kyoto, An Lan."
The old lady looked at Gong Zhiyi strangely.
"Why do you ask this as soon as you come back?"
Then the old lady said: "Although An Lan is a good girl, she is already married, and her husband has been guarding her, and the relationship between the two can be seen to be very good." ”
Gong Zhiyi coughed lightly with some embarrassment: "Mother, how can you think of your son as what kind of person?" ”
"Isn't it the best, haven't eaten yet?"
Gong Zhiyi nodded: "In order to rush back early, I didn't eat well all the way, and I didn't eat a drop of water today." ”
"Peony, you go to the stove room, go get something to eat and come here."
"Yes, old lady." Peony retreated to the stove room.
There were only the old lady and Gong Zhiyi left in the room.
"It's said that the birthday is simple, let's have a meal, it's okay, you look at the people in the yard outside, you can deal with it yourself in a while."
"Mother, I didn't mean it."
Gong Zhiyi was also very helpless, if the emperor hadn't asked him when he would go back to celebrate his mother's birthday when he was in the court, it would not have been known to all the civil and military officials about his mother's birthday.
"Okay, I don't blame you, you can arrange for someone to eat at the same table with us in a while."
Then the old lady said: "An Lan can't cook too much by herself, she only cooks the dishes of the main family's table." ”
Gong Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask why, but swallowed it back, when he was in Kyoto, he heard that there was a strange cook at the Four Seasons Restaurant, and he said that no matter how much money he had, he wouldn't do much money.
Then Gong Zhiyi nodded.
......
The guests were all sporadically seated, and because the old lady was not seated, everyone was still standing.
The dishes on the other tables in the banquet have begun to be served one after another, but the old lady's table has not moved at all, not even the pot of soup.
After a long time, the old lady still didn't have anything on the table, and she thought that the food would be served after a while, but she didn't think that after a long time, no one would come to serve the food.
Those officials who have been seated for a long time can't bear it, and they must not eat first if the main family does not move the chopsticks first, not to mention that this is still the home of the imperial doctor.
Gong Zhiyi was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, is this cook good or not?" ”
With a low roaring tone: "Why not, I also ate the dishes made by An Lan yesterday." ”
"Then, why haven't you seen anything on our table for a long time, so it's okay to have a side dish."
Saying that, Gong Zhiyi gestured to the old lady to see the officials sitting at the banquet who were a little impatient but didn't dare to say anything.
"Ah......," the old lady sighed.
"Lao Liu, go to Anlan's stove room to take a look, how are they preparing over there? If you need help, you can go down and arrange it. ”
Just when Steward Liu turned around and was about to go to the stove room, he saw a group of maids led by plum blossoms walking slowly with dishes.
Shuttling through the aisle in the middle of the banquet, the rich flavor coming out of the dishes hooked the saliva of the people present.
Plum blossom is holding a pot of medicinal soup that warms and nourishes qi, followed by meat dishes, half meat vegetables, green vegetables, greasy sweet soup, and pastries.
"Miss Zhao said, this dish is in the order of eating, and this medicinal soup is the opening dish."
After Meihua finished speaking, she gave the old lady a bowl first, and then the others followed suit.
